Intended Use
The XLTEK Connex Headbox works in conjunction with Excel Tech Sleep software. This Connex headbox is used to acquire and review sleep recordings (polysomnography) in research or clinical environments for: - Digital recording of high-level output signals (such as EEG, respiratory and oximetry . signals) from conventional polygraphic recorders, signal transducers or amplifiers. - Selection of recorded signal sections for on-screen review, annotation and marking of . sleen stages. - Computer-assisted event marking and quantitative analysis of EEG, respiratory and . oximetry signals. - Computer-assisted reporting of simple measures obtained from the recorded signals (such . as magnitude, time and frequency and simple statistical measures of marked events) The Connex is not intended to replace conventional devices or methods used for sleep monitoring in critical care or intraoperative settings. The Connex requires competent user input, and its output must be reviewed and interpreted by trained polysomnographers or trained medical professionals who will exercise professional judgment in using this information. The Connex does not make any judgment of normality of the displayed signals or the result of an analysis. In no way are any of the functions represented as being in and of themselves diagnostic.

No
The summary explicitly states "Computer-assisted event marking and quantitative analysis" and "Computer-assisted reporting," but does not mention AI or ML, and the description of the device's function aligns with traditional signal processing and analysis rather than AI/ML techniques.

No
The device is used to acquire and review sleep recordings (polysomnography) and analyze signals, but it does not provide any therapy or treatment.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states, "In no way are any of the functions represented as being in and of themselves diagnostic." It clarifies that the device acquires, reviews, and analyzes sleep recordings, but its output requires interpretation by trained professionals and does not make judgments of normality or provide diagnoses.

No

The description explicitly mentions a "XLTEK Connex Headbox," which is a hardware component used for acquiring signals. This indicates the device is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the XLTEK Connex Headbox is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The intended use describes the device as acquiring and reviewing physiological signals (EEG, respiratory, oximetry) directly from the patient. It does not mention analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The device's function is signal acquisition, review, and analysis. While it performs analysis, this analysis is of electrical and physiological signals, not the chemical or biological properties of a sample.
  • The intended use explicitly states it's for sleep recordings (polysomnography). Polysomnography involves monitoring physiological parameters during sleep, which is distinct from analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the XLTEK Connex Headbox falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring and analysis, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

  • Digital recording of high-level output signals (such as EEG, respiratory and oximetry signals) from conventional polygraphic recorders, signal transducers or amplifiers.
  • Selection of recorded signal sections for on-screen review, annotation and marking of sleep stages.
  • Computer-assisted event marking and quantitative analysis of EEG, respiratory and oximetry signals.
  • Computer-assisted reporting of simple measures obtained from the recorded signals (such as magnitude, time and frequency and simple statistical measures of marked events).

The Connex is not intended to replace conventional devices or methods used for sleep monitoring in critical care or intraoperative settings.

The Connex requires competent user input, and its output must be reviewed and interpreted by trained polysomnographers or trained medical professionals who will exercise professional judgment in using this information.

Dear Ms. Landreville:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 16, 2004.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA), You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act.
